Big Borders - FMS183

I decided to create another card using the sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches Blog (FMS183). I rotated this sketch this time.  You may view the challenge here and all the cards created with it here:

Big Banner Day

This card looks so much better in person than in my photo... darn lighting. Lol!  The colors I used are Coastal Cabana, Basic Black and Whisper White.

I colored in the 'birthday' with my Coastal Cabana stampin' write marker.

Now, on to how I made my banner flags.  I used the Sweet Sadie Washi tape on both Coastal Cabana and Whisper White cardstock before punch them with the banner punch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Frenzy Day

I wanted to try using the negative image from the leaf part of the Flower Frenzy Bigz L Die on a card. I positioned the black cardstock so just the leaf part would die-cut. Then I turned the cardstock around and die-cut the leaf again.

I adhered the black cardstock on top of the Pear Pizzazz DSP (I used the positive leaf image to make sure the edge pieces that weren't attached were perfectly aligned. Then I trimmed the DSP, so that only the leaf image showed through.

I used the stamp sets 'Borderettes' and 'Big Day' on a piece of Whisper White cardstock and after adhering it, trimmed the edges.

I colored the word 'Birthday' with Pear Pizzazz marker.  I just LOVE how this card turned out -- very striking and has a very masculine feel too (which is what I was going for!).

Thanks for looking!

Supplies Used:
Stamp sets - Borderettes, Big Day
